ERA-MIN is a network of European organisations owning and/or managing research programs on raw materials.

It is currently comprising 19 partners from 15 countries. The number of partners is set to increase over the project’s lifetime to form a major network for the European non-energy mineral raw materials research community (ENERC).

A 3rd ERA-MIN joint call has been launched for 2015 on the basis of the topics and rules of the previous 2nd joint call 2014, addressing research on the entire value chain of non-energy raw materials (non-energy primary and secondary raw materials, recycling and substitution).

The countries which have committed to the third Joint Call are: Argentina, Finland, France, Hungary, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Sweden and Turkey. Funding organizations from other European countries or regions, as well as non-European countries are also invited to join.
